A diligent and strategic portfolio manager, Rößler’s patrons include companies in consumer goods and automobile manufacturing, among other industries. “Matthias is very professional and delivers very high-quality work. His commitment to his clients is impressive.” He and Sven Jessen deliver IP due diligence in M&As to Volkswagen AG. An automotive expert, Jessen spent several years working for Audi and its subsidiaries before moving into the patent profession. His experience in the industry gives his advice a technical and commercial edge appreciated by his clientele. The firm’s third co-founder alongside Kreuels and Rößler is the deeply experienced Hermann Kahlhöfer, who has been working in the field of intellectual property for more than 40 years.
